Stacy Valancy, MBA, CPRW

She told the hiring manager her target salary was $125,000-$135,000.

He said that range was fine with the company.

But after 6 interviews over 2 months, her offer letter said: $105,000.

She followed up with the hiring manager.
He advised her to counter the offer and negotiate it.

She was frustrated because he “approved“ of her range at the beginning.
And then he lowballed her.

So she removed herself from the hiring process.

She told the hiring manager she doesn't want to work for a company like this and didn't want to get involved with this culture.

She began interviewing with another company.
They sent her an offer: for $140,000.

She accepted.

Know your worth.

Dear Hiring Managers,

Send rejection emails!

Stop ghosting candidates.

It only takes a few minutes to notify people.
Do the right thing.

She went through 5 rounds of interviews.

Then, she received a generic rejection email.

So she followed up to get some feedback,
But she was ghosted.

After hours of preparation and multiple Zoom calls,
She didn't even receive a response.

Perhaps there was a candidate who was a better fit.

Perhaps she said or did something wrong.

She will never know.

Candidates deserve feedback,
Especially after multiple rounds of interviews.

Let's put the human back in human resources.

I asked my boss if I could work from home on Fridays.

I was nervous because everyone worked in the office.

His answer surprised me.

He told me he didn't care where I worked as long as I got my work done.

Not only did I hit all my goals, but I exceeded them.

If you can't trust your employees to work without oversight,
Don't hire them in the first place.

Agree?

Who is with me on this?

Everyone begins their career with zero experience.

Someone took a chance and hired you.

Remember to do the same for others.

Hire for character.
Teach the job tasks.

She completed 4 rounds of interviews.

She answered questions and took a personality test.

Then, got a generic rejection email.

When she asked for feedback, she was told:

“We found someone who is a better fit for the job.“

She followed up again to get more details,
But she was ghosted.

Feedback helps the jobseekers.

Let's put the human back in human resources.

She applied for the job on June 5.

She interviewed for it on June 9.

She was ghosted on June 16.

The hiring manager told her he would get back to her in 1 week.

She followed up after the initial conversation.
She followed up again after the 1 week deadline passed.

But she received ZERO RESPONSE.

This is unacceptable.

If you tell a candidate you'll get back to them,
Get back to them.

Let's put the human back in human resources.

Remember, behind every resume, there is a real person.

Someone put their heart and hope into building this document.

Don't forget to be kind, especially during rejections.

Let's put the human back in human resources.

Dear Hiring Managers,

Stop asking for entry level candidates to have 10+ years of experience, 3 certifications, and a graduate degree.

Sincerely,
Frustrated Jobseekers Looking for an Opportunity
